I don't like holding onto Dez because you're hoping 2 separate injuries don't linger or get worse to make any of it worthwhile.

I wouldn't consider trading Julio at all, let alone for an "okay" RB and another WR you don't need.

Yeah. Your team could certainly use some RB depth, but I wouldn't downgrade from losing a top 3 WR just to get RB bench depth.

And wait...is that Antonio Brown? You own Julio, Dez, Antonio Brown and Hopkins? Maybe see if you can move Diggs or Rishard for some RB depth. Otherwise, you're golden.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I'm still debating my QB situation for the week with T-Mobile on bye. I had waivers in for Alex Smith and Peyton Manning. Both got sniped. In a half-asleep stupor, I picked up Jay Cutler against Minnesota. Good choice? I'm also rolling with Vikings D/ST so I don't like using Cutler. These are my options:

Mariota @ Houston
Hoyer vs. Tennessee
Fitzmagic @ Oakland (I've got a waiver in for him.)
Winston @ Atlanta
McCown vs. Arizona
Foles vs. San Francisco
Bridgewater @ Chicago
Kaepernick @ St. Louis (lol nope)

Is Fitzmagic my best option? Kinda have to win here since I'm 2-5 and want to squeak into that 6 seed.

I'm sucking at both WR and RB right now...but feel safer with my WRs.
RB: Gore, Lacy, Starks, Spiller
WR: Julio, Jordan Matthews, Vincent Jackson*, LaFell, Crowder

*Pretty tempted to drop VJax, but haven't heard the extent of his injury, aside from doubtful for this week.


Also backup QB ROS?
Mariota or Fitzpatrick? I've got Tyrod.

Haha. Oh yeah. I always forget that guy exists. Even ten minutes after watching him play.

EDIT: Either way, assuming Dez doesn't completely gently caress his foot up by coming back early (he probably will), running Nuk, Julio and Dez out as your 3 wide receivers isn't something I'd be looking to give up. Especially when you actually have usable RBs.

After a couple weeks of trading and wire pickups, I think I'm finally in a great spot to finish off the season and I don't know who to start and sit.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
My RB and WR in a 12 team standard league that starts 3WR and a flex:

RB: Forte, Martin, Yeldon, Ivory, A. Andrews
WR: Julio Jones, Sanders, Wright, Crabtree

I was offered a trade of my choice of Amari Cooper or Demaryius Thomas for any of the first 4 RB on my team. Since my WR3 is weak and I have 4 decently startable RB, I am assuming I should mash trade and give Yeldon for Cooper? I assume Yeldon is the least productive of my top 4 RB and Cooper has more potential than DT at this point?

Holy crap. I'm commish of my league and have setup a controversial rule. It's an office league so I like to keep things fun but still competitive. Since it's an office league that means from time to time we get newbies that end up losing interest or dropping out.

If that happens then I, as commish, replace any bye week players with the highest projected players from their bench. Only bye week players and no going and picking people from the waiver, etc.

It's never made a lick of difference really because said person always has terrible teams to begin with, but it usually the squelches the "no fair he played an abandoned team!" people. Well it erupted into a firestorm today led by Mr. "I Take Fake Football Way Too Seriously" (Every office has one). After a long email thread where I stood my ground (FF is not a democracy dammit!) everything went silent for a few hours. Thought that was a bit odd.

Well, I just got served. Literally! I work at an ad agency and one of our clients is a hugeeeee law firm. Well all the offended players got together, formed a fake players association had a bunch of official documents drawn up by said law firm (who helps us participate in pranks from time to time) and served me with an incredibly authentic cease and desist for my actions (or be removed as commish).

I have to admit when I got the:

"Hey BonoMan - someone's here to see you."

"You BonoMan?"

"... Yeah"

Hands me papers.

"You've been served. Good luck with that."

My stomach did quite the flip.

Make sure your response includes you photoshopped over Kim-Jong Un as "Glorious Commissioner"

What alternative are they suggesting besides highest projected points? Just leave the lineup however it was when the owner quit paying attention?

I'm sticking with the Falcons, streamed them last week too. Looking at the Buccs schedule they've played some pretty flimsy defenses so far and the only times they've gave up less than 5 points were against Jacksonville and Washington.

I've always known it as the "Weekend At Bernie's" Rule. If they were still playing, they'd be putting their best lineup in there each week, so once they're gone that shouldn't change.

The Titans held the Falcons to 10 points and the Texans offense is white hot garbage especially with Foster out for the year

My main concern is that a lot of times teams give up a ton of garbage time points to the Texans because they roll out their second string with a huge lead

Falcos are the safe/best bet but Pats or Bengals are fine. Depends on if Ben plays or if you think Miami is gonna give the Pats a hard time this year like they sometimes do.

Ha! I'm definitely doing that. Trying to change all of their team pics to headshots of Kim Jong-Un's military advisers but ESPN won't let me. Boooo.

And yeah their desire is to have all of the bye slots remain empty.

Exactly. I tried to say tell them it at least creates some baseline of competition. They should consider it playing against the computer in a video game. But noppeeeee... just a 50 email long whinge fest.

Ben is playing, and you shouldn't start a DST against Pats. Falcons are the way to go of those options, IMO.

Alright so my two RBs this year were Foster and Charles, we all know how that went.

Currently my RBs are:

J.Stew
C. Sims (just picked him up off waivers)
J. Randle


and that's it. It's bad y'all. There's not much on waivers, if anything.

My WRs are:

ODB
Evans
M. Bryant
J. Jones
S. Smith Sr.

I've got a guy offering me McFadden for ODB, the only reason I'm thinking of accepting it is because my RBs are poo poo and I need some help. Also because my WR pool is not terrible.

Am I crazy?
